Philips CD SOUNDMACHINE AZ1133 - Manual (Page 5)

CD player and CD handling
• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
• The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
• Always close the CD-tape door to avoid dust
on the lens.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
Safety information
• Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface
so that the system does not tilt.
• Where the MAINS plug or an appliance cou-
pler is used as the disconnect device, the dis-
connet device shall remain readily operable.
• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-
ping or splashing.
• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary
to prevent heat build-up.
• Do not cover the ventilation openings with
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-
tains, etc.
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain
self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.
• Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed)
shall not be exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire or the like.
• To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.
